Zones
Zones are a logical grouping of one or more Universal Messaging server instances (realms) that maintain active connections to each other. Each Universal Messaging server instance can be a member of zero or one zone, but a server instance cannot be a member of more than one zone. For more information about zones, see the Zones section in the Universal Messaging Concepts guide.
You can create, edit, or delete a zone using the Command Central web user interface. You can create either a Zone with Realms consisting of one or more reams, or a Zone with Clusters consisting of one or more Universal Messaging clusters. You can export the zone configuration using the Export option.
Important:
If the server instances that you want to add to the zone have only nsps or nhps interfaces, ensure that the keystore and truststore of each server instance contain the certificates required for communicating with the rest of the server instances. To do so for a server instance:
1. Create a keystore and a truststore.
2. Import the certificate of the server instance into the key store.
3. Import the certificates of all servers that you want to add to the zone into the truststore.
4. Add the paths to the keystore and truststore, as well as the keystore and truststore passwords, to the corresponding JSSE system properties in the Server_Common.conf file of the server instance. The file is located in the Software AG_directory \UniversalMessaging\server\instanceName\bin directory.
The table following table describes the fields and values to specify when you create a zone with realms or a zone with clusters.
